Default Stoptech Trophy Sport BBK
Anyone currently running these. The main resaon I'm looking at a set is because they clock the caliper lower which help prevents knock back.

Not the cheapest BBK but it is the only radial caliper kit I have come across for the Z that clocks the caliper.

Ryan @ forged priced a set for me. I know Sharif has them on his 370, but I haven't seen anyone with 350z or G35 with them. I hope to get them on my next round of mods. They are a sweet kit!

^Holy cow those are pure sex... I just need something slimmer than my Akebono's so I don't have some of the fitment issues I already have or have to run a spacer when my VSXX's get here.

i thought the revised brackets from ST had an option to pitch the caliper at the 9 & 3 oclock positions.

i'm running the Trophy kit on the Evo X.. but i swapped out the caliper mounts for my ST60 on the Z to be more forward.

you might want to ask Stoptech on the availability of retrofitting your existing bracket..

before move: (driver side)


After move: (pass side)


bracket differences:

Cheston did you have to swap out to longer brake lines as well or did your already installed lines already provide enough slack?

Looks like he changed the routing of the brake lines to make it work (green circle).

I honestly forgot how the lines run across the spindle and the bottom of the shock but I'll take your word for it.

Not on the top of my mod list, but really appreciate you checking into it. If it were to fix a severe problem or offer significant improvements - I'd bump it up the list.
